UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Trump Survives Third Shooting Attempt at WHCD. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 27th, a gunman named Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old, opened fire at the White House Corp. dinner in Washington, where President Trump and over 2,000 journalists and politicians were gathered. He rushed past security at the Washington Hilton, armed with guns and knives, aiming straight for the ballroom. Law enforcement took him down fast, no one got hurt, but it shut down the whole event. Investigators found a manifesto from Allen loaded with anti-Trump rants, targeting cabinet members and tying Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. He'd been at a no-kings protest, which Trump calls a Democrat-funded scam, like old groups backing radicals. Trump says the far-left's hate speech and online stuff radicalized him, way more dangerous than anything else out there. In a CVS interview with Nora O'Donnell, Trump pushed back hard, denying any Epstein links he says he was exonerated and booted the guy from. Mar-a logo years ago. An MS now anchor flipped it, blaming Trump's own rhetoric for the violence, even after
praising his unity talk, post-shooting. Trump joked the shooter, moved like an NFL blur, but hailed cops for their quick work. Trump stayed calm in the ballroom, slowing security a bit to check the shots, while Malania clocked it first. This marks his third close call, after rallies in Pennsylvania and Florida. He figures influential leaders like Lincoln and McKinley got targeted for shaking things up, and he's turned America around strong. Trump's eyeing a reschedule with beefed up security, refusing to let one crazy derail the tradition, says perimeter checks got a tighten, but the show's going on.
